Customer Question

I am currently enrolled...

I am currently enrolled in a master's of science in would d healing and tissue repair at the University of Cardiff in Wales. I was there for a week in September and the balance of the year is done for distance. I am hoping that some of my expenses (Tuition, travel, accommodation) qualifies as deductibletax expenses.

Accountant's Assistant: The Accountant will know how to help. Is there anything else important you think the Accountant should know?

Well, unless you paid the expenses through an U.S. college through an exchange program, none of the expenses are deductible on a U.S. tax return.

University of Cardiff in Wales is not qualified education institution under IRS definition. Therefore, fees and tuition paid to that institution may be good for your career development. They are not deductible. Also, trips and living expenses are not deductible on tax return regardless where the school locates.

Below quotations and website links are for your further reference.

"An eligible educational institution is a school offering higher education beyond high school. It is any college, university, trade school, or other post secondary educational institution eligible to participate in a student aid program run by the U.S. Department of Education."

Thank you for pointing it out. Enclosed below are the Canadian websites on education expense deduction for your further reference. Education credit is no longer applicable for 2017. In addition, I could not identify the application deductions for overseas, graduate study work deductions.

I will opt out now. We have Canadian experts who should be able to follow up on the issue. Please continue on the website links below.
